I fly a flag (weather permitting) every day. One of the The last flags I perchested was made in China, sadly the color faded and the wind tore it very quickly. I told my wife to pick me up another 3x5 flag on her next trip to Wal-Mart and see if you can find one made in the USA. A few days later she handed me a plastic bagged flag and in large bold letters was "Proudly Made in the USA". I opened the package and installed it on my flag pole. I noticed the weight was much heavier and the color was much brighter. I'll have a little smile on my face each morning when the flag is put out for display.
By the way, you can dispose of your old fag honorably by taking it to the nearest American Legion Post.
